Dean Chomas S. Staples Dean of the college since 1928 . . . Noted by students for his sound advice . . . and for his stern discipline . . . His admonitions may be as awe-inspiring as they are constructive... A keen judge of men, he is adept at hitting the nail on the head when it means pointing out a weakness and aiding in its correction . . . Once was coach at Hendrix . . . football, basketball, track, and baseball, and taught at the same time . . . Attends few athletic contests now, as he says that he cannot go to a game without fighting it over in his sleep . . . Has taught history at Hendrix since 1908 .. All students are familiar with his aversion to cornbread and his lectures on “the one-gallus” boys .. . His Civil War and Reconstruction course is a campus classic . and one of the stiffest . . . Studes seldom sleep in American history courses. . . All are afraid they shall miss something ... Largest part of the campus conversation on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays centers about “the one Staples pulled this morning” ... All history majors read his ‘‘Reconstruction in Arkansas,” and lament that his “History of the U. S.” burned with the ad building. [18]
